Clara’s sister is called…

Looking for ideas for a sister for Clara. We are finding it hard to find a name which compliments it without making it sound a bit fusty. Open to most suggestions and we are not fussed about popularity.

@CrackerGal

Winnie?
Love that name :D

It's cute isn't it?! You don't hear it used to often either I think.

Alice
Felicity
Primrose
Penelope
Beatrice

Obviously the most important thing is to choose a name you love but if it were me I wouldn't have two ending in 'a' so names like Isla, Eva etc would be out for me.

Anna is my favourite name ever, but sounds too close to Clara when said together.

I think that may be because of Clara Bow the actress.

So many gorgeous names! Deciding on just one is going to be so tricky! I’ll have to have more children! Grin

@Hadtocomment

I think I'd go for something not the same format (ie not another two syllable with an a on the end). First thought I had was Ingrid. Iris is nice and simple and contained also very fashionable at the moment. Polly? Which I think is its own name. Esther?
I thought the same about not another a at the end. My favourite suggestion was Alice.

Clara and Alice.
